europa league squad as it stands

foreign
1. alisson
2. Adrian
3. konate
4. matip.
5. vvd
6. Robertson
7. tsimikas
8. endo
9. thiago
10. macallister
11. Szoboszlai
12. salah
13. jota
14. gakpo
15. nunez
16. diaz
17. DOAK

home grown
1 kelleher
2 trent
3 gomez
4 Jones
5. nat Phillips (as it stands, can't believe this)


b list
bajcetic
Elliott
Bradley
Clark
scanlon
McConnell
etc etc etc

this strongly suggests to me that we might not buy anyone more thats not hg

adrian is a giant **** stain on our squad there. harsh but he does totally block our procurement or blocks doak from games.

rules in Europe are 3 years at club or in country as hg or b list.

prem is just 2 so he is OK to be b list this year in prem

perversely looking down this list suggests a player like kalvin Phillips is not totally illogical due to their status.

Or Adrian isn’t included in the squad and Keller is back up with one of the kids 3rd choice

maybe so but we will have to see. Jaros or pitaluga would need to be held to sit on a bench rather than get loaned out. Mrozek is 20 now so next in line, so if he plays u21 it could be done that way. He signed in 2020 so not sure if he makes 3 years or not?.

Can't Doak be left out the squad and still play because he's a youngster?

The chance of needing 3rd choice for a EL game is massively small if think Kelleher will start, Ali can be back up you’d only need a kid to actually play if they both got injured. Could happen but be massively unlikely and if was to happen, then be a good learning curve in the EL for one of the other kids.

Well we will see when the squad gets announced.

If we do buy another non hg player then it'd be a shame doak is cut off from 6 games so adrian can sit and watch.
 
I understand the offer for Salah is £80M,Is that good enough?.

**** the **** off to ****sville, USA, and when you get there keep on ****ing off until you get to ****y ****agong, Western Australia, then continue ****ing off until you get to The Sea of ****ingness on the Moon. Salah will be worth £300m in merchandising alone in an Arab League, and they ****ing know it. 8 days before the deadline, we'd want £200m to start the conversation, and then only if Mbappe is interested in a season-long loan until we line somebody else up. :emoticon-0181-fubar

Your negotiation stance is good. I like it.

Not keen then?

Paid for by the club buying Salah
 
to salah and 40p to us no doubt.

Unless they're offering us something major they can stuff it up their arse.


Can we afford to lose Sarah close to the end of transfer period?.


Que Salah Salah, whatever will be will be...

He's going to leave within the next two years anyway, might as well let him leave while we can get good money out of it to strengthen the squad.

It's borderline. I'd push for more... As silly as £80 mill is, we need that to spend to improve elsewhere. £80m is borderline for me. If they offered £100m, I'd accept.

80mil wouldn't even buy a right leg off salah in this market and he only stands on that.

it's this simple. these ****s have driven this market and have been involved behind the scenes with Chelsea 100%

they can stump up the fee or jog on.
 
So who's available that we'd want? What would £80m even get us?
Standing around with a fistful of dollars is no use if there's nothing worth chucking them at.
Salah may be past his best, but I'd still expect him to get plenty of goals for the next year or two. Sell him only if we're sure we can improve upon him - and make them pay through the nose for it.

it’s alright saying sell him if we can improve upon him, but how many right wing players can do and score the amount of goals and assists that Salah has done for the last few years?
